Weak Bonds

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

I was digging through my iPhone notes and found this quote that I had scribbled in there in May 2008:

“Weak bonds give you novelty”

Andrew McAfee said this at an Oracle/BEA conference I attended in Chicago.  Strong bonds are people who you have a deep connection with and are usually like-minded and have similar experiences.  People you don’t have have a close link with – weak bonds – are likely to provide new perspectives, opinions, and ideas.

I think that Twitter allows us to discover and build weak bonds extremely well, better than other social networking tools.
